Great. And you are back in no man’s land next year. I sure as fuck hope they aren’t stupid enough to give DJ a long term contract. That’s the issue with him - no one believes he’s the long term answer at QB and even in one season his max is first round exit. The reality is he probably gets 6-8 wins. So it’s a continuation of the stupid Ballard shit that has driven this team into a decades long mediocrity.

I have no idea why you believe Steichen has balls and is confident in Jones. What is it about Jones that makes him so confident? His sterling record as a starter? I see a fucking weasel who is anything but confident in what he’s doing. He had fucking confidence in Flacco last year too. How’d that work out? The same way Jones is likely to work out.

I have no idea if AR will amount to anything. He’s most likely a shit QB. But he offers excitement and, most importantly, the path off the carousel of mediocrity Ballard loves. By your admission his bad is worse than DJ, so better pick and possibly a chance at a QB. Instead we want an extra 2-3 wins from DJ and a continuation of the carousel.

DJ is a lose / lose proposition. AR is a win / win proposition. That’s why this is a stupid fucking decision and everyone is pissed. I can’t wait until “big dick Ballard” and “balls of steel Steichen” are fucking a different fan base.

Steichen very easily could’ve just bowed down and gave the fans what they wanted (AR). Jones is 28 Flacco was 40 last year and he’s a statue back there.

Every coach wants a guy that can run the offense efficiently, walk up read the defense and make the throw when it’s there. AR just relies too much on athleticism and buying time yet missing on the simple play when a guy is schemed open.

This tells me they want to win now, unfortunately for AR the best players on this team are getting up there in age
